Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”

Therefore its name is called Babylon, for there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth, and from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Should He be told that I want to speak?
Can a man speak when he is confused?

Lord, confuse and confound their speech,
for I see violence and strife in the city;

Youths oppress My people,
and women rule over them.
My people, your leaders mislead you;
they confuse the direction of your paths.

Those who are confused will gain understanding,
and those who grumble will accept instruction.

These also stagger because of wine
and stumble under the influence of beer:
priest and prophet stagger because of beer,
they are confused by wine.
They stumble because of beer,
they are muddled in their visions,
they stumble in their judgments.
